I read this January 2014
It was one of the books put forward to read for the Waterstones book club, but was pipped at the post...2 members of the group who had not liked/read Last Exit to Brooklyn sung it's praises.
The cover blurb does not gove away the plot...
*****Spoiler Alert****
It's about a couple whose marriage is on the rocks going to Nigeria on holiday and encountering 2 girls who have witnessed atrocities in their village, who are hunted down.. some violent scenes. One of the sisters escapes to Britain, where she tracks down the couple...
****End of Alert ****
If I didn't know who this was written by I would have guessed Ian McEwen, if you know his style... to my mind this is quite similar.
It's well written, but I'm not sure it really did it for me...
I think I expected too much...
6/10
